In my last post, Laurie was wondering why I was cutting back on the running, and I thought that was a pretty interesting question.  So on my runs yesterday and today (yeah, it doesn’t seem like I’m cutting back yet, does it?  *sigh*) I...

Hey y’all…it’s early August, and that can mean only one thing.  That’s right! It’s time for BlogHer! Once again, I’m not going (Kristen is…find her and say hi!  I’m sure she’d just LOVE it if you rubbed her belly, too.).  But I know a lot of...
